1. What is power in your own understanding in the context of a community?
For me, power means having the ability to act strongly and influence over
others. In the community, those who have power is granted the ability to control
the rest of the community members. Aside from that, they have the ability to
influence the choices and decisions of other people.
2. At home, who shows power? Who is always showing a command? Who does
most of the decision making? How does/do this/these person/s show power at
home?

This idea means that a community has area boundaries resulting from the
internal structure of space and how this applies to the external structure.
Although there are boundaries, people in a community still manage to interact
with people outside their own community. An example is when someone in a
certain community marry someone from the other community. This is just a
common part of human interactions.

“The three elements of community are not acquired through our genes, hut through our
socialization.”
Based on what I have learned, community ideals are vital for both community
and personal identity; who one is largely determined by the values one holds. People's
judgments are made around three axes, all of which are based on what they experience
as children. This involve determining what is right and wrong, good and evil, and
beautiful and ugly based on social and cultural values. They are gained by our
socialization rather than our genes. This basically means that they can be re-learned,
and that our judgments can be altered.
Socialization is one of the most basic thing that develops a community. By
teaching people, the norms and expectations of a social community, socialization
prepares them to engage in that group. Teaching impulse control and creating a
conscience, training people to play certain social roles, and fostering common sources
of meaning and significance are the three main goals of socialization.
